Raincity Studios become our new officemates at the beginning of October. We said goodbye to NowPublic as they moved into larger offices to accomodate their growing team.

This past Thursday, the Raincity crew took charge of their first 1 Alexander Thursday BBQ (we have an open offer for anyone to come by the offices on Thursdays at 12:30pm to join the BBQ...no need to RSVP, just come on down to the office). Burgers, smoked turkey, smokies, some veggie platters, and lots of Dr. Pepper were consumed.

Raincity Studios are long time partners of Bryght. Their very first year of operation, they built over 30 separate websites using our Bryght Light mass hosting platform. They're now a full services design and development shop, and doing great work all over the world (Robert is off visiting China with Kris Krug as of today).

Welcome, RCS crew, and thanks for being such great officemates (heck, you're even podcasting for us). You can see some of the pictures of their new space in our office with photos tagged with Raincity Studios on Flickr.

The Raincity Studios team plus additional members of the BCIT new media program joined together to enter the New Media Slam, a 48-hr "slam" to finish a new media project.

It wasn't until we saw our own project on the big screen that it hit us. We had taken one of the New Media Slam awards. Out of 14 registered teams from across western Canada, and six that crossed the finish line, we the BCIT New Media Crew had done it.
